The other one.
We took the bus from the hotel to the transport center in Venice this is where the railroad, busses and cabs are all in one place.
We walked around the entire island of Venice, not something to do if you cannot walk or handle steps too well. Every time you come to a canal, which is about every hundred yards, you have steps up and steps down over a bridge.
Of course everyone who has not been to Venice will tell you how smelly and fly ridden it is, well I've been here four times and never found it so.
Jeff can attest that today it was very hot and the water has no smell at all.
The Rialto bridge.
Piazza San Marco.
Piazza San Marco waiting for a beer.
OK now we have a beer and a snack, Jeff is not paying attention to the pigeon on the table who is now eating the snack!
Zoom in on the picture to see the pigeon.
We met up with El's brother who was leading a tour around Venice.
This boat was tied up alongside the wharf just south of Piazza San Marco, it is registered in Douglas Isle of Man and is called Felicitia West.
You can charter the boat for between $190,000 and $200,000 a week.
Check it out.
Jeff outside Harry's Bar, famous for Bellinis.
This was just after Jeff had received a good luck charm from a pigeon, probably the same one who ate our snack earlier.
Just another busy day on the Grand Canal.
Public transport Venice style.
A little bar restaurant Anne and I visited on our last trip to Venice, the Artblu Cafe.
We took the water bus (vaporetto) back to the transport center and the regular bus back to our hotel.
Tomorrow we leave for Cortina D'Ampezzo.
This is only a one hundred mile ride, but it is a great altitude change.
